Tennis Strategies (Doubles)

Last week we talk about tennis strategies and 陳冠文 ask me about an example of serve and volleyer(發球上網型) in The Prince of Tennis. Well…since Takeshi Konomi (許斐剛) intends to make his main characters incredibly strong, nearly all of them are all court players(全面型),so, after racking my brain, I eventually found out an inappropriate instance, for his is not very famous, that is Akutagawa Jirou (芥川慈郎), a player who are good at volleying(截擊), in HYOTEI(冰帝), defeated by Fuji Syusuke(不二周助) in his first appearance…. 


This week let’s watch some Doubles strategies. Simply talk, we can categorize them into three types.
The first one is both-up strategy. To be both up to the net, the player needs to rush to net after serving, therefore, it also called serve and volley doubles, yet as you can imagine, when both players are close to the net, the over-head shots(高吊球) will become their nightmare. However, if their volley skill is awesome, their opponents will do get into troubles, because they barely have enough time to deal with the balls.
Since we have both-up, there must be a both-back strategy. This strategy is not offensive but defensive, and it is a useful response while our competitors both come to the net, like the picture shows.

Australian Doubles
The last one is the most common and complicated one, up-and-back strategy. Let’s first glance at the picture. Server starts his serve in backline and the other player stay behind the net, and that’s the simple type of up and back strategy, and with the change of the game conditions, it can turn into both up or down strategy. Besides, it can also vary into the well-known Australian Doubles(澳大利亞陣型) and the I-Formation(I陣型)


As usual, enjoy the funny video~~.
Thank for your reading. Have a nice day~

Tennis Strategies!

Eventually, after been trampled by the terrible chemistry midterm, I will not have a nightmare about getting stuck in an infinite potential well and having a fierce fight against the particles in it anymore! The world seems to be colorful again!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SENCxdRVkUo It's some funny moment in tennis court~. 
Well…let us turn to my topic, in this seventh blog to introduce tennis, I will talk about different kinds of tennis strategies by taking a lot of examples, not only in the real world, but also some classical instances in animation!

The first one is Serve-and-volleyer(發球上網型). As its name mentions, this type of players are tend to come up to the net(上網…not surfing the Internet, like we do everyday= =) after serving the ball. This behavior gives their opponents more pressure, for the flying time of the ball will be decreasing, yet it is same to the players who stand just behind the net. For me, the games with this type of players are charming and exciting, because I always enjoy watching the reaction of the players who are forced to hit the balls between extremely short periods of time.
Next one is All court player(全面型球員), I consider most of you can easily guess the features of it, since some of you have watched The Prince of Tennis (網球王子) before and the well-known main characters in this animation are the best representatives of this type, like Echizen Ryoma(越前龍馬) and Tezuka Kunimitsu(手塚國光). For those people not interested in two dimensional world, Roger Federer will be your best choice to realize the characteristic of it. It is really hard to explain it clearly, for they sometimes come up to the net and sometimes stay in the baseline(底線), just decide by their own mind and doesn’t have a rule.

 Tragedy… since the words are over 300, and I think it is a leap in the dark for me to keep increasing them. I will introduce other types in other articles~. Thank for your reading! By the way, Djokovic, the previous blogs mentioned, is a good aggressive baseliner(底線侵略型球員)!

ATP and Novak Djokovic

Congratulations!! Most of you have conquered the midterm exam (or be bitterly trampled by it like me). All what I am thinking is Schrodinger equation, and what’s more, numerous naughty electrons not only colonize but also divide my brain into shells with different shapes.



Well…since my topic is neither an annoying particle in the box nor a potential well, let’s talk about ATP and Novak Djokovic(諾瓦克‧喬科維奇), for this skillful young man just won the championship in ATP World Tour Finals two days before(on November eleventh) by defeating Rafael Nadal(拉斐爾‧納達爾)!

First and crucial, ATP is not what you may think in biological field, which can provide energy in our body, like this one.
ATP is the abbreviation of Association of Tennis Professionals (國際男子職業網球總會). It holds a lot of major international tennis tournaments, and thus we call them ATP Tours (ATP巡迴賽), by the way, they do not contain Four Grand Slam Tournaments (四大滿貫賽事=Majors).

Novak Djokovic is borned in Yugoslavia(南斯拉夫) and he is the very first one in Republic of Serbia(塞爾維亞) to win the championship in the Majors (it was Australian open) and got the medal in Olympic games(奧運). Before his success in tennis, nearly all championships are belonging to Federer or Nadal, yet Djokovic broke this situation through sharpened up his skill diligently. On the other hand, as previous blog mentioned, Federer is getting older is also one of the reason.

Next week I will keep introduce something about Djokovic and different kinds of tennis strategies, thank for your reading!
